If you use decent thick metal you wouldn't need the bracing, what metal are you planning to use?

I have no idea, either Steel or Aluminum but i dont have anything to brace it with

hey guys i just recently realized that the Imax B5 charger is dc only :D :slap: so i was on the hunt for a power supply, my freind happend to have one for a Xbox 360... i knewthat there was a good chance it was 12v, but the thing puts out 16.5a!!!!!
i got it for free, mind you that its an 80 dollar PSU

all chargers are dc, as batteries are dc, some chaargers also have an onboard power supply and can run off ac, but that would be a special feature and clearly noted

i know, i just didnt read the fine print

Good News, My motor, Battery and Charger shipped out this morning!!! :party:
now i only need to wait 6-21 days for it to arrive...-_-'

And i never knew that the Xbox 360 is such a power whore, 16.5a is alot for a game system


PSU- so far i have stripped the connector off the wires, now im looking to the 12v bullet connector.... should be sweet when its done...

Shouls be here next week. Probably wed-thursday. Good luck!

yay... now i just need to devise a mount... lol

Hey guys, just another update, the Motor, Charger and battery are Officially in transit!! its taken over a month for the order to even leave UnitedHobbies... i thought i was going to go stir crazy..

I think they were B/s'in me cuz my order was "processing" for 4 days.. As soon as i emailed them it changed to "shipped"..
Then it was another two days for the mail carrier to Physically put in on the plane...or boat... but anyways

I was talking to various people who have done conversions like I am. i would like to thank Sikeston3m for his advice and inspiration (DD revo) and Crazyjr who has run multiple mm's on 5s... His were also the yellow label so hoping for the best:whistle:


I also found this in the latest RC Driver mag

Just a little update guys, i just ordered a few things off of tower..
-Short 80mm dogbone
-Antenna and mount
-Stock wing

i ripped the antenna and mount off the raze when it was still nitro, so i picked up a new one, I think i found the right dogbone off of a Associated B4, and the only reason i bought the wing is because i would need a new one cuz mine will get ground down from wheelies... and that it was only $1.89.... Beats 20 bux for proline :D

The B4 dogbone is 1/10, the Raze is 1/8, they use different sizes of dogbone.

They shouldnt be that far off, they should fit

Trust me, there is a big difference between the two. There is far too much play, especially for a brushless conversion:wink: Look at the pictures below that I have just taken, the first shows 1/8 and 1/10 dog bones together and the other two show them inside the drive cup on the centre diff.

Uh oh.... :slap:

Ok plan B...

Cut a current Dogbone to size then weld it back together, grind smooth
